For another meaning of "Ned", please see Ned (disambiguation).

Ned was the name of a redshirt who Montgomery Scott cited in a 2259 log post.

"They really need to start naming new plants after the first poor redshirt who touched it and died of whatever fatal disease was hiding in the leaves. Instead of "Flowering phistella sporophyte", it should be "Ned's Where Did My Skin Go Flower". A touching tribute to the spirit of discovery, and yet another reason why I am the last to volunteer for away teams."

"Ned" may have been hypothetical rather than a real person Scott knew. (TOS video game: Star Trek)
